Yup, I've never heard of John Blumming or Wang Shu Chin...there's the education thing.

Really ??? You should look them UP ! Sometimes Wangs name is Spelled Wang Shu Jin tho . Hes the guy that pulled off all those "Legendary Feats" you hear ppl talking about - ON TELEVISION . the guy would let you hit him ANYWHERE but the Face (Scarring) even the Groin ! .

Djimbe,
Right again, very true.
jon Blumming is the correct spelling by the way :)

Ummm, no it isn't.

Fer chrissake, if you're going to correct someone's spelling, y'all better have your **** together.

It's Jon Bluming. (one M and one B).

Bruce Lee just had the fortune to be able to monopolize the great media instruments of his time.

Hung Hei Goon had what...scrolls?

Djimbe--I will look them up. That's why I (gulp) love bullshido.com, always learning. txs.

Waste--my view of Bruce Lee's legend is become more realistic every day...

...but you know what, Bruce helped a lot of people see the light concerning cross training...and once you get there you can appreciate better the ones who came before and after...call me a fanboy I guess.

As a long time Tai Chi guy I found my first six months of Krav both physically invigorating as PT is a big part of it and that it pickedf up where my milltary training left off. I live the fact that we are trianed to go for the most damage in the lewast possible amount of time.

Most KM places in My area offer at least 6 classes/week for prices between 95 - 99.00/month, putting it in line with other schools. Krav is the only application where the students start hitting solid objects from the first class, none of this bullshit ari punching.

I decided to take a few months off and go back to my roots (Tai Chi), I can't wait for the month to be over so I can go back to hitting, kicking and doing things to solid objects like people and pads. in the ocassionaly anarchistic fashion of a fight, even in controlled exercies in KM students are encouraged to explode.

As a level 3 student I can't imagine a level 1 (tellow belt )teaching. Truth is that in my area we even have a few instructors from Israel. I look at my lohi in my current school, which just came back from a succesful Kung Fu tournament and I think to myself that these guys wouldn't last two minutes in the world.

I guess the point is that you get ourt what you put in, providing there is someting to get out. My high School and college wrestling would serve me better than years of Tai Chi. Only thing is that I can't see doing Krav Maga at 70 or 9\80, at least not yet

Dude, find a better school. A Krav Maga class should leave you sweating, strong and self confident, anything less and you have to find another school. Please bare in ming that this is not a martial art, this is an application and reflex training.
